The Filipino Spirit is Stronger Than Any Typhoon
The Filipino spirit is stronger than any typhoon
One day, I was surfing Tumblr and I came across this slogan with the words; "The Filipino spirit is stronger than any typhoon". I don't know but something about those words clicked in me. We've been through a lot of strong typhoon but, so far Typhoon Yolanda was the worst- taking thousands of lives and leaving millions of people with nothing.
And as if struggling to recover from Typhoon Yolanda is not difficult enough, Filipinos in Bohol are still recovering from the earthquake that had hit the country just last month. Talk about bad luck. But of course, Filipinos have already adapted to this. Because of our location our country has been a victim of countless typhoons, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. So, really we are not a stranger to these kind of things.
Despite, of all the happenings we remain strong. In fact, in times like this we become even more united. And like what other people say; "It's 'bayanihan' at it's finest".
Not that I'm bragging but, we are such an optimistic nation. Throw a 7.2 earthquake at us or a super typhoon that left us devastated or any other natural disaster, we will bounce back and continue our lives again, because we are a nation full of resilient people. The spirit of helping one another in every calamity makes us FIlipinos even stronger, we learn our lessons from the past happenings and we always put a smile on our faces as we continue to live on.
